Berlin is a city full of mentally unstable motherfu*ckers! A lot of people out there don't perceive reality at all and most Berliners are alcohol dependent. People fail to communicate with members of their own family! I really hate it here. So terribly sick place you will not find anywhere in the world! This is why the worst policy is always coming from Berlin. Ugh!!!
My personal favourite of the week,people going nuts after Donald Trump stated rise in crime in Germany in last few years?"buh buh buh statistics show a decrease in crime!"???...Any sane person living here,who has lived here for a few years could only admit,honestly ,that yes it is way way more violent,dangerous and aggressive than before.."buh buh buh the statistics say,,,buh buh,,so it must be true?"..Of course,we can never ask WHO provides these statistics?Do those providing statistics always report the truth?Could there possibly be a few white lies in these statistics??Could,possibly ,just somehow,exist the possibility,that the true statistics are kept under wraps??"Certainly not,the government would never lie to us,we are kids,they are adults ,and they love us and will look after us forever,they would never misinform us of the truth for a political agenda".
The problem is that it's too easy to find articles with headlines that say things like "Crime in Germany drops 10 percent in 2017" but no one is interested in looking at the actual underlying figures because when you do it becomes undeniable that what Trump is saying isn't wrong. I'm not saying that sources like the German federal police and the state-financed media are lying but they are definitely torturing statistics to push a narrative. Dive into any annual police report from the past couple of years and see for yourself.

The stats are there. As I stated before, if you treat every crime equally then yes, there were fewer instances in the latest statistics. But who honestly thinks that each case of larceny is as bad as each case of violent crime? Only an idiot.
Trump was right.
All violent crimes and robberies went down except sexual harassment. Where do you get the idea that people are viewing larceny the same as grievous bodily harm ? Actual mainstream German media is reporting on the crime increase through refugees, how is that 'hiding the truth' ? But yes, the sentence (that barely qualifies as one because it lacks any context) that Trump uttered 'Crime in Germany is up 10% plus' is correct, I'll give you that since you desperately seem to need it. I'm going to eat a ham sandwich now and report on 'ham sandwich eating up 10%' like I'm some kind of cartoon stock broker.

oh so contrarian
"Where do you get the idea that people are viewing larceny the same as grievous bodily harm"
When people post statistics like link above that is exactly what you are doing. Who cares if total crime is down when violent crime is up? A year-on-year decrease doesn't comfort me when 2016 and 2017 were outliers for reasons we are all aware of.
But Merkel was right. The statistics do speak for themselves if you are intelligent enough to look at them rather than just headlines.
Here's a statistic de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/153880/umfrage/faelle-von-gewaltkriminalitaet/ just covering violent crime. It's massively down from for example 2007 (the magic of making a point with half available statistics). So even with the influx of refugees it's still lower than then. Are you intelligent enough to compare these numbers or do you want to stick to your 'Reasons we are all aware of' (you can say it you know, it's being publicly discussed) headline so you can comfort yourself in feeling scared ?
Since I can't have more than one link per post here, here's a chain of what we know:
1. You're posting hastily researched sundry statistics again to try to prove a point. You know what's included in "Gewaltkriminalität"? Diebstahdelikte - the only category that has decreased notably de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/157411/umfrage/polizeilich-erfasste-faelle-von-diebstahldelikten-insgesamt-seit-1995/
2. Grievous bodily harm was higher in 2016 and 2017 than it has been at least 20 years.

3. "The statistics speak for themselves" imgur.com/CL1bMjd
What's pointless is arguing with someone who has only a high school education and doesn't even know the definition of the word sundry. What's disingenious is constantly posting sundry statistics and claiming that Germany is safer than it has been in 20 years when we know for a fact that rape and violent crime (real violent crime, not theft) are way up.
If you want to know the cult behind twisted stats, these wonderful women will put you on the right track. kookykimbo.tumblr.com
Kkraut jorunalists never cease to amaze me with their capacity to feign outrage, especially when you consider the demure facades these robots display to the world IRL.

Mad isn't it ,how no matter what the truth is ,no matter how much real life evidence of things exist ,a deluded fool will cling to their madness ,and even double down ! Imagine ,if you could find an article on the Web ,saying for example ' Italians do not eat pasta " .Then in real life you travel to Italy ,and in every city ,,in every town and village ,in the whole country you see people eating pasta ,all day ,every day .But ,the article you read on the internet said the Italians do not eat pasta ?? The idea that there can exist a human who can even stand and physically ,see the truth ,feel it ,touch it ,taste it but still deny it ?? I find that shocking ..the world is whatever makes me feel good and whatever i have been told ???? In fact ,its quite sad .To live in a world where you simply block out all ideas and thoughts that make you uncomfortable ,like selective hearing ,selective vision ?????I think it cannot be much of a life at all if that is how one spends their days walking around this planet ,
I hate summer and winter in Berlin. In summer, day from 04h till 23h, and in winter night from 15:30 to 08:30. No thanks.
Every summer has it's disatrous festival, and this year it is the Craw Festival that is flopping so sooooo hard.
The whole thing exists to sell tickets for Irish superstar Damien Dempsey.
3 days to showtime, and ticket sales are still in SINGLE figures!
(I failed math in school, can somebody tell me, does ZERO count as a single number?)
That's right, insiders say that they haven't sold ANY tickets.
Instead the audience will be made up of the other artists and performers, who 'volunteered'(ie, won't be paid) for taking part in the festival.
Strangely, for a group which claims to hate Ireland, the festival is only being promoted in the Irish Times, which treats them as a joke, publishing ever more ludicrous articles about the organizers.
In effect, the organizers have spent their life savings (dont worry, their rich middle class kids) putting on a free Damien Dempsey gig for a bunch of people who will soon hate them, if they don't already.
Berliners are really stupid,annoying,miserable and pointless people.
URBAN-DICTIONARY sums u what stinks most in Berlin.
LEFTIST:
A person who simultaneously advocates for radical individualism, and radical egalitarianism.
Radical individualism being the exhuberant (and often jealous) exercising of personal freedoms without a sense of responsibility to human history, immutable principles, or the society around them. The individual tends more to emphasize personal *rights*, while neglecting personal *responsibilities.* When widely adopted, this leads to social/cultural decay.
Radical egalitarianism is the advocation of equality of *outcome* rather than equality of *opportunity* and, often unconsciously, seeks to persecute those who have achieved more than others with the hand they've been dealt. Thus the desire for the biggest kid on the block (government) to impose, whether by force of law or bullets, an elastic concept of "fairness" on achieving citizenry.
While, at their core, the two concepts are often at odds, they are emphasized at different times, which circumvents this conflict.
Leftists very often view such figures as Marx, Castro, Chavez and their ilk with sympathy, if not admiration.
"Its very difficult to speak to my dad. He fought in WWII and I'm a leftist, so there's just this huge philosophical gulf." :\
"Yeah, I know the Inquisition killed, like, 3000 people over a coupla hundred years, but it just flabberghasted me how many millions were killed in leftist regimes in just the 20th century!"
What I don't understand is why this city is so filthy when Germany prides itself on having some of the highest environmental standards on earth? Recycling, abhorrent taxes on gas and electricity and this place is still covered in garbage and has worse air quality than a lot of the rest of the developed world. What's even the point in trying?
Also consider that among European countries, Germany's coastal water quality is in the bottom half. Also consider the bad news constantly available about lake water quality here and even the news of the tap water her (too expensive, contaminated with too much nitrates, legionella, aging delivery infrastructure, i.e. use of lead pipes, and underuse of water). I honestly wonder how much money this country spends on PR because when you casually research Germany everything seems so darn rosey but if you look at ACTUAL FACTS about this place it is clear that this country is not leading the way anywhere that anyone wants to go.
Worst part about the bottle collectors is that when you mention it to any German they will invariably say how they think it is GOOD that these people have the opportunity to collect bottles and supplement their Hartz4 or pension as if this is a viable solution to abject poverty.
Berlin is a sick city with the ill population! The only thing Berlin really can do is pay for quality advertising. Each bottle picker at Alexanderplatz is an artist in Berlin. Do you want to be an artist in here? In Berlin every second person is alcohol-addicted, so empty bottles are enough for everyone.
Sorry German:
Anwendungshinweise der Ausländerbehörde Berlin
Für Künstler/innen, die einen langfristigen Aufenthalt zu Erwerbstätigkeit planen, ist die Regelung des § 21 Abs. 5 Aufenthaltsgesetz (AufenthG) „Aufenthaltserlaubnis zur Ausübung einer freiberuflichen Tätigkeit“ interessant. In Berlin gilt hierfür in den ‚Vorläufigen Anwendungshinweisen der Ausländerbehörde Berlin (VAB)’ eine besonders künstlerfreundliche Auslegung: „Bei einem Aufenthalt von Künstlern ist stets von einem übergeordneten wirtschaftlichen Interesse der „Kunst- und Filmhauptstadt Berlin“ auszugehen, welcher positive Auswirkungen auf die Wirtschaft erwarten lässt und damit das Ermessen grundsätzlich zugunsten des Ausländers auszuüben. Dies können sowohl bildende Künstler, als auch freiberufliche tätige Musiker, Schauspieler, Regisseure u.a. sein. Auch bisher nicht renommierten, aber besonders kreativen Künstlern soll im Rahmen des § 21 Abs. 5 Aufenthaltsgesetz ein Aufenthalt ermöglicht werden.“
Shortly: The Berlin police forces the imigration office to grant artist visa very generously.
Had a conversation with a Berlin Feminist about the mythical pay-gap and she said she just wants equal pay for equal work www.youtube.com/watch Also Google "pay gap myth"
Lol you think people shouldn't get the same pay for the exact same work ? You've got to work more on your imaginary strawmen(women) because nobody is buying that you spoke to a woman. Anyway, hope daddy Peterson doesn't spank you too hard for not telling the truth.
It take s a lot of time and experience ,in this town,you need to go through all the battles,heartache and disappointment,but after you do, you will start to understand,that every single one of these people ,who label you as a Nazi ,racist ,mysogynist?Every single one,is manic depressive,sees a shrink a few times a week,is on medication! They will not tell you this at first ,understandably,but if you go through this enough times you will start to notice the pattern.When you do ,it all starts to make sense..and then you realise how when you attempted to have logical conversations,with logical facts,logical statistical information?You were completely wasting your time ..."2 plus 2 equals 7"??? Why? How?because I'm so desperate ly miserable in life I need it to be!That simple! I regret every single moment I approached a conversation,debate or discussion with logic ,facts,proven scientific knowledge!: (..What a waste of time! I have been speaking with people who 100 per cent need Santa Claus to be real,because they are so ridiculously unhappy that Santa is the only thing they have left in their life! They are so void of any kind of joy that Santa's existence?? It has a lot more meaning for them,than for you..They NEED Santa to exist..You do not z because for you Xmas day comes many times a year!Feel grateful that you never in your life wake up so empty, so depressed,so lacking purpose that you spend 24 hours a day contemplating every detail of some random guy called Donald Trump?? Imagine what life must be like ? To spend 24 hours a day sitting thinking about a man,you never met? Do not know?Do not live in the same country as??Amazing!
True, almost every single person I dealt with were either on drugs, prescribed pills, alcohol or sex to kill whatever problems they have mentally. If you notice these people can’t maintain relationships or friendships. These people are lost in every sense of the word. Anyway, I don’t waste time with trash. Do you and be you and don’t mind these clown people.
Funniest thing is when Germans think they superior to other cultures... and smarter.
When they are ‚open minded‘ but when you say something that is not as they see it, they will point out you‘re closed minded, ironically... And also ironically, they don’t even see the point in that.
Amusing people.
They are open-minded for escaping their problems through sex, drugs, drink and mindless leftist fascist conversations, but not about changing themselves for he better. I know a girl wo is totally free of anything to do with drinking, but she still goes to AA because she says it's the only place to meet genuine people.
This Sunday Germany will play its first match in the World Cup so I guess we can all prepare for endless torrents of drunk German boys emboldened with patriotism because Germany can do exactly one thing well: dominate at sport in which more often than not nothing happens.
It's been about 15 months since I left Berlin and the place feels like a bad dream now. I can't remember some of my memories there. I left a very toxic relationship, toxic life and toxic situation in Berlin and now I'm in love with someone amazing, live in a beautiful place and I honestly truly love life. Leaving Berlin was a catalyst for my life to do a total 180. Life still has it's challenges but at least now I am living. Berlin is no place to live... it's a place to go to when you're waiting to die, because you have no life left in you anymore. It's also an evil place, that causes a lot of psychological harm to those who live there. I know this might sound dramatic if you're still living in Berlin, but you will only see it once you leave, how harmful that city is to your soul.
When germans call Berlin Grossstadt, when there s just a bunch of villages glued together with people that have no manners whatsoever.
